Teteyian Nangurai is a storyteller at heart, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of words to inspire and connect across cultures.
As the author of Unbroken, she elegantly shares her emotional journey through the complexities of loss, healing, and resilience. After losing her mother to a heart condition in 2003 and her husband to liver cancer 13 years later, both at the age of 35, Teteyian’s story serves as a powerful reminder that grief can strike at any moment, defying logic and order. Yet, through it all, she encourages us to persevere, even when life seems incomprehensible.
Beyond her writing, Teteyian is dedicated to honouring her husband’s memory by building a community library, a project that reflects her commitment to advocating for enhanced educational resources and fostering a culture of reading.
She also plays an active role in her community by leading grief support groups, organising workshops, and guiding others as they navigate life after loss.

“Impacting lives with Christian literature”

Whether or not you’ve faced the death of a loved one, Unbroken-Smiling Beyond The Pain offers a profound exploration of the anxiety and inner turmoil that accompany the journey through cancer and loss, particularly from the perspective of a young child. It delves into the awkward questions that friends and family may hesitate to ask, the heart-wrenching decisions that must be made, and the harsh reality of being widowed at a young age. Teteyian paints a vivid picture of the moments when grief must be postponed because life demands you keep moving, denying you the luxury of mourning in the conventional way.
While each of our stories is unique, Teteyian’s narrative of stumbling with grace and rising again resonates deeply with anyone who has faced life’s harshest trials. Her story is a testament to the truth that, from the ashes of despair, beauty can indeed be reborn.

Here’s to rising above the pain and living a wholesome life the way God intended us to.
Unbroken is a book that shows how important a support system is in one’s life.
It also shows how a father played the role of a mother (after her passing)for his children, we know how hard this is especially when girls have reached the age where they need the dignity kits. Kudo’s to all father’s who step in..
Anyone who is facing any challenges I advise to read this book..
Teteyian writes with raw honesty and grace, capturing the kind of pain most people only whisper about—and somehow, she makes space for hope to shine through.
As her cousin, I’ve seen firsthand the heart of gold behind these pages and the smile that defies sorrow. Her story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a reminder that even when life breaks you, you can still rise, still smile, and still love fiercely. Teteyian’s courage is contagious, and her words will stay with you long after the last page.
Unbroken by Sharon Nangurai is piece of work that makes you never to give up on life…

First “unbroken “is a great title..I have read the book very encouraging and teaches us on how life has no boundaries.
This book UNBROKEN by Sharon Teteyian Nangurai has taught me that Resilience doesn’t mean avoiding difficulties, but rather navigating them with grace, finding strength in setbacks, and emerging stronger.
I strongly recommend it it will encourage you during your difficulty trials.
Reading “The Unbroken” gave me a sense of closure, especially because I had the privilege of working with Nick. He was an amazing human being, and seeing his story through Teteyian’s words brought back both the pain of loss and the comfort of remembering his strength.
The way Teteyian recounted the events was so vivid and heartfelt, I could feel her struggles, her pain, and also her resilience. What really came through for me was her incredible strength, the reminder that no matter what life throws at us, we find a way to hold on and be strong for our children.
This book isn’t just a story, it’s a testament to love, endurance, and courage.
I read through the book in one sitting because of how captivating it is. I would read another book written by Teteiyan.
Such an inspiration! A good and uplifting read that will surely impact many.
Every story matters, and this book is a powerful reminder of that truth. It shows that the most authentic and original stories are often written in the shadows long before they ever reach the light. What stood out to me is how it captures the quiet strength of resilience not in avoiding the fall, but in finding purpose afterward. This book doesn’t just tell a story; it invites you to reflect on your own, and to believe that even in your lowest moments, something new can begin.”
I have personally read the book and it inspired me and deepened my faith in God no matter the circumstances
Unbroken is a very encouraging read on resilience, determination and strength to overcome tough situations in life.
Highly recommend for anyone going through trying times.
I look at how far you have come and marvel… You have a thing with pen and paper.. The encouragement in your writings gives hope to us all to keep pushing and moving forward one step at a time.
All the best!!
